Bei Schenkung eines Flügels

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Die Orange und Myrthe hier
Und rings der Blumen Zier,
Und in der Mitte ein Flügel fein,
Das muß wohl von meinem Liebsten sein.
 
Er sei Dir werth; wie schön sie blüht,
Die Blume verblüht; was tiefer glüht,
Du hegst es im Herzen auf [treuem Herd]¹;
Die Kunst sie bleib Dir werth!
 
Und kann ich nicht immer bei dir sein,
Eil' dann zum Freund und denke mein!
Doch denk' ich daß wir in allen Tagen
All Leid und Freud zusammentragen.

Sur le don d'un piano

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Les oranges et le myrte ici
Et tout autour l'ornement des fleurs
Et au milieu un beau piano,
Qui doit bien venir de mon amour.

Qu'il soit digne de toi ; aussi joliment qu'il fleurisse,
Les fleurs se fanent ; ce qui brille en profondeur,
Tu le chéris dans ton cœur sur un cœur fidèle ;
Que l'art reste digne de toi !

Et si je ne peux pas être toujours près de toi,
Alors dépêche-toi vers tes amis et pense à moi !
Mais je pense que tous les jours nous
Porterons ensemble chagrin et joie.
